Sanjay Bangar is likely to lose his job as the Indian men's cricket team batting coach, with Vikram Rathour being carded as the front-runner for the job.

Sanjay Bangar, who seems to be the only man among Ravi Shastri-led Team India support staff likely to lose his job, reportedly barged into the room of one of the national selectors -- Devang Gandhi -- and had a heated exchange over his omission from the batting coach job. According to a report published in The Times of India, Sanjay Bangar barged into selector Devang Gandhi's room when the selection committee was conducting interviews for various posts of the support staff.

"(When the selection committee was conducting interviews) ... He went and knocked on Devang's door late in the evening and gave him and the selection committee an earful. He warned the selectors that the team would rally around him and the decision (to replace him) would fall flat. It wasn't required. It wasn't the team's job to decide on support staff. It was the selectors' call," TOI quoted sources as saying.
